Every one who goes around saying that this war is all over oil or personal revenge or any other silly conspiracy is playing into the hands of the terrorists and giving aid and comfort to the enemy. They know that if they kill a few of us every day that enough people will get mad, give up on the war and want to pull out of the Islamist affairs. So even if you didn't say it, you are on their side. Then what???? Let the U.N. run our policy? You know the people who were taking kick backs from Sadam through their oil-for-weapons-and-cash program and then lecture us about what we should and shouldn't do. That's what Kerry wants to do. Let's not do what's best for us the greatest nation in the history of the world, we'll just take a poll of all the nations that hate us and do what they tell us.
It never ceases to amaze me how someone can live here and think we are the cause of the worlds problems. Have you seen the governments they have in the Middle East? The have dictators who control every aspect of life and when things go wrong they tell the people that it's all America's fault or the Jews, so they hate us instead of their rulers. Maybe we should sit back and wait until they slowly impose their form of government on us???
I don't support soldiers getting killed either but alot of that is from not being aggressive enough in the beginning and letting the terrorists take hold and the fact that they know there are people who will turn against the war as time goes on. They know they don't have to beat the whole army, just kill enough until we wimp out.
As for Japan they got what was coming to them. We even warned them about the bomb before hand. Who else would do that? Did they warn us about Pearl Harbor? Just like the Islamists hiding out in Masques the Japanese built their factories spread out in populated areas so there was no way to destroy them without razing the whole city. I'm grateful for the bomb. It saved the lives of thousands, perhaps millions of Americans (maybe even my Grandfather) and COUNTLESS Japanese. It was the most humane way to end the war. The slaughter would have been horriffic if we had invaded. I could go on and on about WWII if you want. Maybe we shouldn't have imposed our will on Hitler as well? Killing millions of innocent people was thier right as a soveriegn nation perhaps?
And no Bush never said the war was over. In fact he said many times that this is a war unlike any other and it could take decades to win if we win. I doubt we will because there are too many people that can't see the difference between us and them and lack the will to see it through.
No I don't think Bush is perfect but he at least gets it. What else would you have us do? It's a war that has to be fought. The other side has been fighting it for years and will keep fighting it no matter if we pull out and give them everthing they want. Did you know that Bin Laden was bolstered by the way we pulled out of Somalia? That's why they keep killing our soldiers in Iraq. They think that when the going gets tough we'll run. It's
to say it but it's true for a lot of people. 9-11 wouldn't have happened to the post WWII America. No one dared attack us for years because they knew we'd kick their butt. We still can but now we fight wars with one hand behind our back because we don't want to make anyone mad at us and our enemies know it, they don't play by the same rules.
If you think the U.S. is so bad then someday you might get your wish and we won't have to suffer from our way of life even in America. What would you prefer, the entire world like us or the entire world like Iran? If you even have to think about it then don't bother answering. That is the question. Are we going to have freedom to live our lives as we see fit or will we have other people, political correctness or world opinion tell us how to live?
